Worst Bar Ever

by toriboy214

I've been to a lot of bars/clubs in New York since moving here in 1996, and Le Royale was one of the worst experiences I've ever had. I was there for two friends' combined birthday parties, and we must have spent hundreds of dollars there, only to have a terrible witch of a hostess (manager, whatever--she was a rude woman who thought her sH*T didn't stink because she had a clipboard) storm back to where we sitting and order us to leave for no reason. She stepped on my friend's foot and bumped into another friend, causing her to spill her drink, and didn't even apologize. When I told the hostess what she was doing was bad business, she uttered a homphobic remark (think f word) and tried to kick me out of the bar. I left on my own, and I'll never go back to this tacky, homophobic dump.

• Pros: None
• Cons: Rude staff, expensive drinks, homophobic

Le Royale play's incredible music on the best sound systems in New York!

I honestly get the feeling that the owners just want everybody to have a great time. Been there at least 12 times never once had an issue at the door.

• Pros: Sound system - you can actually chat while listening to incredible music
• Cons: coat check and bathroom lines are one of the same, don't get stuck in the wrong line.

Terrible, rude bouncer! (at least on friday)

We were told that we were not wanted in this place because of how my friend looked! (He had come after work and was wearing a suit with no tie). I was told he was "too dressy" and "we don't want his kind in there". Way to give off a good vibe.

This place is what makes people think New Yorkers are rude.
